This volume deals with the religion of Palmyrenes in Dura-Europos during the first three centuries of the Common Era; and focuses upon the religious interaction between this migrant community and their new residence. By studying the religious interaction of distinct groups on a local level; this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the process of religious development and change in Syria during the Roman period. Information on the Palmyrenes of Dura-Europos consists primarily of archaeological remains that have been found there. The Palmyrene materials from Dura-Europos have never been published collectively; and for this reason they are enumerated and re-evaluated in the appendix. The book is richly illustrated with 20 figures and 22 plates.
